I'm curious if any of you guys with colitis have installed RO water filters in your homes? 

I'm not diagnosed but have some symptoms. While I was thinking about possible cause of my problems RO water fillter crossed my mind. We're using them for years. I was perfectly healthy in years we used tap water. I doesn't have to mean anything, but... 

I've just searched the internet and found a few articles which says RO filters can cause things like anxiety, depression... colitis and Chron's D. among many other things. 

I'm going to switch to tap water for some time to see if there will be any improvements.
